Watch: How Andrew's BBC interview compares to what Epstein emails tell us now
AI Summary
A BBC Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew from 2019 is being re-examined following the release of new Epstein emails. The interview was given by Prince Andrew in an effort to clear his name amid growing pressure from US officials and Virginia Giuffre's family for him to testify about his links to Jeffrey Epstein. In the interview, Prince Andrew denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein, while emails released recently appear to contradict some of his claims. The emails suggest that Prince Andrew had knowledge of Epstein's activities and may have visited the financier at his New York mansion. The BBC has contacted Prince Andrew for comment on the discrepancies between his interview and the new evidence. The prince has previously denied any involvement with Epstein.
